Technical Project Manager – Data Engineering & CDP

Role: Technical Project Manager - Data
Location: Remote 
Contract: Longterm
Experience:10+ years

Technical Project Manager – Data Engineering & CDP Not a generic application PM role. We need a hands-on Technical Project Manager who has actually run data platform programs — ETL, OLTP/OLAP, data marts, reporting, and analytics — not someone whose PM background is limited to typical software/application delivery.

What This Person Will Own:-

End-to-end delivery of data engineering programs, with primary ownership of Customer Data Platform (CDP) initiatives — planning through launch and business-impact review. Reporting & analytics pack rollouts at scale — large-volume data, dashboards, visualization (Power BI or equivalent), alerting, and monitoring. Data migrations and integrations — coordinating schema changes, source-to-target mapping, and cutover across systems. Cross-functional coordination between business stakeholders, data engineering, architecture, and Data Leadership — closing gaps, resolving dependencies, keeping delivery aligned. Delivery documentation — requirements, milestone plans, dependency maps, and architecture/technical diagrams that data engineers can actually work from. Agile execution — sprint planning, backlog grooming, and translating technical data requirements into well-formed Jira epics and stories. UAT ownership for data deliverables — test planning, data validation/reconciliation, issue tracking, and sign-off (not generic feature UAT).Executive-level communication — Steer Co ownership end to end: scheduling, materials, facilitation, and driving decisions on risk and tradeoffs. Must-Have Qualifications

MANDATORY:  10+ years as a Technical Project/Program Manager with proven, hands-on experience running data-specific programs — ETL, OLTP, OLAP, data marts, data warehousing — not just general application project management. MANDATORY: Direct experience managing data integration, data cleansing, data reconciliation, and data representation/modeling work — this is a data process background, not a generic delivery background. Strong Agile/Scrum practitioner, comfortable running sprint ceremonies and translating data engineering work into Jira epics/stories. Proven experience with Customer Data Platform (CDP) programs specifically. Hands-on experience with data analytics and BI tooling, particularly Power BI. Strongly preferred: experience running a project centered on Databricks integration/migration. Comfortable with SaaS/technology environments and distributed teams; strong executive presence and communication skills.
